Sex: F
Age: 60.0
Side effects: cramps in calves and feet. unexpected bowel movements. these side effects are well worth dealing with since i have the strengh back and am able to go for walks again.
Time taken and dosage: 3 months60 mg 4X D
Review: mestinon has really helped the muscle weakness that was making my life miserable. I still have trouble with double vision even following surgery to help increase the strengh of the eye muscles. however the doctor wants to redo the right eye. maybe my double vision has hope.

Review: still nothing better for my MG....have had MG since I was 12 and been on Mestinon since then. Also take Prednisone (30 years); Mestinon still makes all the difference in my vision and day to day life. Have never been so healthy and strong. Also had thymus taken out 6 months after diagnosis

Review: Seem to have to urinate every 5 or 6 seconds. Was also taking 60 mg Prednisone, now down to 20 mg. Still bruise or cut for no good reason. Still weak after 3 months. Tried to play golf yesterday and I hit the ball about as far as my 150 year old grandmother. Still get dizzy without warning. Followed up with bleeding ulcer that my doctor said was caused by Prednisone, then pneumonia, so 3 separate trips to hospital. Hope it's all over now.

Age: 62.0
Side effects: Double Vision, weak arm & legs, laboured breathing, dizziness, very tired even after a night sleep.Cannot walk far, round a SMALL supermarket exhausting.
Time taken and dosage: 40 years480mg 8X D
Review: Having been in remission for about 15 years. MG is now back, I was very lucky and was diagnosed early in 1962 because my optician's cousin, was head of Neurology in Manchester UK. Mestinon was prescibed. I am now back on it & having all the usual cramps, so I am taking a anti-spasam tablet which helps enormously. After reading some of notes, I am SO lucky to live in the UK and have an almost free good National Health Service.
